    He's not going to leave nato, he's going to threaten to leave nato to force euros to do more austerity to pay for weapons sales.

      That's still a funny enough outcome honestly. America forcing Europe to destroy itself from the inside out would be fantastic. Extremely critical support to that outcome I guess.

      This is still good and inevitable, I think. I'd imagine the analyses of many forumgoers here is the US inevitably will follow a similar trajectory to the previous Nazi state, with Biden prolonging the inevitable because his people have managed decline their entire careers. That role is not difficult by any stretch of the imagination, it's the default do-nothing position which keeps the public funding the empire and the ruling class as shareholders of the increasingly automated war machines and surveillance equipment. North America is the strategic position, physically, and where most of the ruling class is ultimately forced to hole up down the road. At least Trump's people and personality hasten or deepen the fractures in NATO, or inadvertently bolster multipolarity. It'll be less comfortable at home for a few years if he does win, it's not like we necessarily deserve better though
